  • Are the things that we use to survive, support life, and satisfy our needs. They are not made by people rather they are gathered from nature.
    Natural Resources
  • are natural
    resources of water that are potentially
    useful for humans, for example as a
    source of drinking water supply or
    irrigation water. 97% of the water on
    Earth is salt water and only three
    percent is fresh water; slightly over
    two-thirds of this are frozen in glaciers
    and polar ice caps.
    Water Resources
  • an area of land on a slope. This is the reason why it is sometimes called a catchment area or drainage basin. This is also where water in your community came from.
    Watershed
  • process of evaporating a liquid and then cooling the steam at a certain temperature to condense into its pure substance
    Distillation
  • a separation process used to reduce the dissolved salt content of saline water to a usable level.
    Desalination
  • the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states.
    Hydrological cycle or water cycle
  • water is important as we humans are
    70% made up of water
  • is a naturally occurring substance with distinctive chemical and physical properties, composition and atomic structure
    Mineral
  • are generally made up of two of more minerals, mixed up through geological processes.
    Rocks
  • elements are present in their raw form of Iron, Copper, Tin, Nickel, Gold, etc.
    Metallic
  • do not contain any metal substances in them. Ex. sand, gravel, limestone, marble, clay.
    Nonmetallic
  • Any material that can be used as a basis or source of energy. Are used to generate electricity and other forms of power for human use.
    Energy Resources
  • A fossil fuel formed from the remains of plants and animals. Other fossil fuels include oil and coal.
    Natural Gas
  • is thermal energy extracted from the Earth's crust. It combines energy from the formation of the planet and from radioactive decay.
    Geothermal Energy
  • radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions or generating electricity.
    Solar Energy
  • source of energy that generates power by using a dam or diversion structure to alter the natural flow of a river or other body of water.
    Hydropower Energy
  • Any material that derived from living organisms that can be used to benefit humans. Biological resources include, plants, and animals.
    Biological Resources
  • Types of Natural Resources
    Renewable and Nonrenewable
  • Resources that can be replaced
    Renewable
  • are the resources that cannot be replaced easily. Or it takes a very long time to replace
    Nonrenewable
  • Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
    Sustainability
  • In 2015, the United Nations adopted the _______, which will culminate in 2030.
    Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
  • used wind to produce electricity by converting the kinetic energy of air in motion into electricity.
